“Once [gay] people began to say who they were, you found that it was
your next-door neighbor or it could be your child, and we found people
we admired. That understanding still doesn’t exist with race; you still have
separation of neighborhoods, where the races are not mixed. It’s the
familiarity with people who are gay that still doesn’t exist for race
and will remain that way for a long time as long as where we live divided.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
